Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a significant therapeutic challenge, driving the need for novel treatment strategies. This study investigates the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and metalloimmunotherapy for HCC treatment using Co + diABZI@J-dICG nanoparticles. Indocyanine green (ICG), an FDA-approved near-infrared (NIR) dye, is dimerized into J-aggregates to enhance PTT by improving light absorption and photothermal efficiency. The cGAS-STING pathway, a key mediator of innate immunity, is activated by the STING agonist diABZI, while cobalt ions (Co) further enhance immune responses. The Co + diABZI@J-dICG nanoparticles take advantage of ICG's hepatotropic properties for sustained tumor accumulation and immune activation, resulting in significant tumor growth inhibition and reduced HCC recurrence following hepatectomy.
肝细胞癌（HCC）带来了重大的治疗挑战，这促使人们需要新的治疗策略。本研究调查了使用Co + diABZI@J-dICG纳米颗粒将光热疗法（PTT）和金属免疫疗法联合用于HCC治疗的效果。吲哚菁绿（ICG）是一种经美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）批准的近红外（NIR）染料，它二聚形成J聚集体，通过提高光吸收和光热效率来增强PTT。天然免疫的关键介质cGAS-STING通路可被STING激动剂diABZI激活，而钴离子（Co）可进一步增强免疫反应。Co + diABZI@J-dICG纳米颗粒利用ICG的亲肝特性实现肿瘤的持续积累和免疫激活，从而显著抑制肿瘤生长，并降低肝切除术后HCC的复发率。
